A cup of coffee in front of a fire place is probably the simplest form of hospitality there is. but it is surely one of the nicest. It's nice, that is. if the coffee Itself is deep- flavored. deep-colored, hot and good. There are a lot of long winter evenings just ahead. What better time to stop for a moment and make sure that the coffee you brew is coffee at its best? No matter what kind of coffee maker you use. here are a few worthwhile tips that will always stand you in good stead. First of all. start by choosing the proper grind of coffee for your coffee maker. If you use more than one kind of coffee maker, it’s likely you will need more than one grind of coffee. And try to purchase not more than a week's supply of coffee at a time. Coffee loses much of its flavor if It has been exposed to the air for longer than that. The brewing process begins with a scrubbed and shining coffee pot.

The use of not enough coffee is wasteful, not economical, for the real proud of economy lies in the finished product. If your coffee is weak or tasteless, then you have wasted not only the coffee itself but your time and effort. Here are the proportions recom mended by the Pan-American Cof fee Bureau: One Standard Coffee Measure (or its equivalent, two level measuring tablespoonsful) of coffee to each three-quarters of a measuring cup of fresh, cold water. These amounts make one serving and apply to all kinds of coffee makers. Timing is Important, too. particu larly if you use a vacuum-type maker w, z percolator. Percolator coffee should be "perked’’ gently not more than six to eight minutes after it begins to show color. For vacuum coffee, keep it over low heat tor about three minutes after the water has risen to the upper bowl. Accurate measure, careful tim ing. a clean coffee pot and the proper grind of coffee—these are the basic elements of every good cup of coffee.
